Watching as crowds of people wander back and forth hunting food or drink and even fuel it would seem. Worn clothing look to be about the 40's I seem to love the times but not that there is a war going on. There are posters and bomb shelters built up and into building edges, sandbags and tin corrugated roofs. A metropolis with its head ducked and if not furtive then cautionary. It brings back a missing memory of listening to my mother talk about the buzz bombs going overhead and the reason they are called buzz bombs from the sound they made passing. I remember her eyes de-focusing as she said that it wasn't the ones you heard but the ones you didn't. Whistling was a jolt to get down and hide fast as it was about to impact your location or nearby. Haunted thoughts on that as the colorful
sights pass in front of me. I wonder if they have started flying yet?
Swinging this Monday past me. Pushing for Wednesday and Thursday to fade past as well. part of my tapping my foot and the other considering the things I do not have time for. Weeds come to mind directly. I hate them. I hate pulling them. If I could find a kid that would do a passable job on the front and back there would be 50 bucks in it. About two and a half hours maybe three of work I refuse to do. Reasons I refuse? They will be back soon, my back will scream at me constantly for two days, and maintaining my temperature is next to impossible right now. That brings me to dehydration that hits me too much for fun. Other than that there is a shed to clean and a garage
or sort and stucco to finish patching and shingles to be tarred. You see how it is. I would much prefer to leave all that behind.
When I was much younger and rather dull between the ears I thought it would be fine to have a nice large home with many rooms and space to wander. Never did I think about the roofs that had to be maintained or the bills to heat, cool, and fill the water heater with water. Dreams through glasses that reflected almost everything. I watch people now looking at huge piece of land and big homes and I shake my head. No, as much as I
wouldn't mind living in a converted container house I would not per say live in a mobile home. The primary reasons for this is that the container house ( single 40 ft x 9ft ) can be locked down. I could close the end doors and lock them securing me and mine. Security is up there in the top of my list. Second is minimal maintenance. Third is location, Fourth is surrounding space, Fifth is local to work. I found a nice condo in Albuquerque proper and it was very nice but there was no secure parking and it was right in the no mans land and had huge windows. If I could put security blinds up and lock in a secure parking spot it would be sweet. But then there ya go on the five things. I continue to look though
Fiddling around with shots last night and working with one for three hours... it was worth it but still a lot of time for one little picture edit. I have to order frames here soon. Off I go to look for websites and then check some options.

And sites
You have to wonder. Just after reading about how the glaciers in the Andies are not in fact melting and are really growing here is this gabadgio... Granted everything I see from this site is questionable and written oddly... still fun though.
Oh.. I will answer these as they go or however I care... Pretty funny how someone can be so narrow visioned to his or her own home weirdness and go on and on about others....
1. Right. I have seen portion sizes in other countries that
blow us away. -10 points.
2. REDACTED. -4000 points.
Went off the rails
there.
3. I agree +10 points
4. This is a problem everywhere. Tipping is to show you are happy with your
service. Not that you did just your job. You bring me a sammich and a coke and you are there if I need another coke before I am looking for you and the sammich is cleared away when I am done quickly and my bill is prompt.. you get 15% maybe 20% if you were nice as well. Same goes for taxis, bell hops, valets... What gets me is places that have auto tipping. Like a local restaurant that I will never step into again. Kelley's on Central. They have wireless credit card machines. They show 15 or 20 % tips... guess what.. the amount shown is not what it should be. Its more like 20 and 30%. You are not funny and you lost my business. -no points cause its universal.
5. This was a law change. I wish it had never happened. Its just more crap blaring in your ears. +1000 points.
6. Not everything.. and not just here. -101.2 points
7. +3000 points and please.
8. Leave the cheese alone and back away. We don't care much for your stinky cheese either. -400 points and two cans of bacon cheddar cheese whiz.
9. Local. You do the same in your country, barrio,back woods, toilet. Go away.. -850 points.
10. You use holes in the ground and have toilet paper like sandpaper or wax-paper, Been there got the cuts and bruises to show
for it. - 10 rolls of Charmin. +1.2 points for the obvious but still global ineptness of stall builders.
11. Pickles are part of the Baseball and apple pie thing. You have parsley in your teeth. -3412 points for snobbery.
12. Um.. its football and its local and about as much as your college teams get fans... Since I think its crap too.... no loss of points on this down.
13. Yeah... its a crime in other countries too. You takes your chances you roll the dice.... snake eyes -2 points and one Darwin award.
14. Oh please. go home! Go get your baguette or sliced palfrey widget... -10 bags of yeast.
15. Refer to above. Swap baguette for Pernod or lager. -another ten bags of yeast.
16. Life is to be lived. Some are quiet, some are loud, some are totally obnoxious... Please refer to the pamphlet in the seat in front of you for the same instructions about your countrymen. -12 early boarding points.
17. This is a backup water supply. Our Dogs love it. Cats swim in it. Where did you think your water comes from in those fancy restaurants you eat in? -14 obscure points for odd things to ponder. Why do the French piss in the streets? Why do the Russians smell of elderberries? -24 extra points because its still dumb.
18. We do and we do. Since you are a pick pocket and a right bastard for nicking my
card whilst we were out drinking the other night you get no applause here. No, really. We do use them but since the banks care less about our destroyed credit and or rating and or money and or stopping the little dinks that do it... we just throw up our arms. Of course this never ever happens in your town. - 360 points from your credit rating.
19. Please go home. REDACTED. -You. You want to come into MY house! Tell ME how I have to do THINGS! Let me tell you something MISTER! Go play in your own pond.
20. Lawyers... take them with you as you exit stage left.... All modifications of points rescinded as you leave the country.
That was long....
REDACTED TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT.
Please include auto opening doors and dispensers so I do not have to touch anything in there. Not that its messy but because.
Impressive and novel.
